"Downloads" folder automatically created when launching Bolt

[vicnetto]

Hello!

Thank you so much for developing the application! Now I can get humiliated by PvM on Linux.

When launching Bolt, an empty “Downloads” folder is automatically created, not following the configuration of xdg-user-dir. I couldn’t find any option allowing to configure this folder, neither why it's used, since it is always empty.

Is there any way of changing the default location of this folder?

Thank you in advance!

xdg-user-dir configuration:

.config/user-dirs.dirs:

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/downloads"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/downloads"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/downloads"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/downloads"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/downloads"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/downloads"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/downloads"

System information:

• Kernel: 6.15.9-arch1-1
• xdg-user-dirs: 0.18-2
• Bolt Launcher: 0.19.1-1 (aur)

This is Chromium behaviour. Bolt uses Chromium Embedded Framework, CEF, for the UI and login page.

According to this https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/3094 it was fixed in a more recent CEF version, possibly 128? It's not exactly clear but the issue is marked as "completed" anyway. Bolt is currently distributed with 126, so that'll be fixed whenever I stop putting off building a newer version.

Perfect, no worries. Thank you very much for the disclosure!

The AUR build uses a more recent version of CEF now, version 139. Can you check if it's still creating a Downloads folder after updating?
